“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

After one of the most dreadful springs ever, lacking both sunshine and warmth, finally summer has arrived here in Italy. Two weeks ago we had the fireplace lit up to warm us up on the evenings, now we go around wishing to cover ourselves with ice. We are never happy are we? But here today I have a lovely, easy recipe perfect for this warm summer days. It’s easy to make, healthy and fresh. What more could you wish for!

Peel the peaches and cut them into pieces. Do the same with the melon, cut it into little cubes. I used a bit less than half a melon and used the rest for decoration. Add the sugar and blend together until you obtain a smooth liquid.

Add to the fruit mixture the yoghurt and mix until well blended. In a separate bowl whip the fresh cream and once it’s quite solid blend it gently with the fruit mixture until smooth. Place in the fridge for a few hours and then enjoy!

How wonderful! This is what I love about the internet, we can connect worldwide 🙂 Is it very cold over there now? Unfortuantely today doesn’t feel like summer here either… it’s a bit cloudy and too cold for this time of the year!
